In the given figure, C(s) =
A:
B:
C:
D:
Answer: B

Use principle of superposition. Initially assume R(s) = 0 and find C(s).

Then assume U(s) = 0 and find C(s). Add the two responses.

gain margin
B:
phase margin
C:
both gain margin and phase margin

In Bode diagram (log magnitude plot) the factor (jω)n in the transfer function gives a line having slope
A:
20 dB/decade
B:
20n dB/decade
C:
D:
-20n dB/decade
Answer: B

For (jω)n term the slope is (20 n) dB/decade.

A:
1
B:
2
C:
3
D:
4
Answer: B
